I ran away from teaching to the country to grow veggies. There are also some chooks and a pair of troublesome goats who were so much trouble they had to go! My simple green life isn't always as simple or as green as I'd like...but I keep trying!

Well, Ali, that isn't so outlandish an idea. All the mammals in this house (except for the goats) have electric blankes. I would like you to keep the idea to yourself, however, I don't want the chickens hearing.
